Atomic Physics and Nuclear Physics

Updating the currently available nuclear reactor modelling and simulation programs is one of the key issues for a successful nuclear renaissance in the UK. This work will create an innovative contribution to the development of the UK national program in Digital Nuclear Reactor Design improving the modelling and simulation of future reactors. It will be performed in close co-operation with specialists at the University of Liverpool, Virtual Engineering Centre and industrial partners to assure good guidance and understanding of the industrial demand for improved software solutions. The work will be performed at the inter-connection between modern software development and nuclear reactor technologies with access to advanced highperformance computing and virtual engineering technologies.
